Is your drop down address bar full of old addresses that you will never use again? Mine isn't, because I have fixed
that problem by getting rid of them. Want to know how? Then keep reading.
Warning: This tip involves entering the registry. If at any point you get confused or are not completely sure what
I mean, STOP , and re-read the steps to make sure you are doing this exactly right. If followed correctly these
procedures are completely safe. I would also not recommend messing around in the registry unless you know
what you are doing.
First click the Start button. Then click on Run . Enter " regedit " (no quotes), and click OK . This will bring up the
registry editor.
Under the My Computer directory open the HKEY_CURRENT-USER directory by double clicking it.
Next open the Software directory in the same way. Under the Software directory open the Microsoft directory.
Under Microsoft open the Internet Explorer directory. Under the Internet Explorer directory, open the TypedURLs
directory.
Now the section on the right will be filled with a bunch of text that at first may seem rather meaningless, and
the address below will be displayed at the bottom of the Window:
" My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs "
If this is the case you are in the right place. If not, go back and make sure you have followed the steps correctly.
All the entries in the right are actually just a list of all the address you have entered. You can now click on any
entry and press delete to get rid of it. For each one you delete you must confirm that you want to delete it by
clicking yes in the box that appears. If it is easier for you, you can delete multiple entries at once by selecting
them using either a box or the control key.
When you are finished simply close the registry editor window. (Unless you want to see something else you can
do in the registry which is explained below) All those useless URLs are gone! Whenever that address bar gets full
again, just do the same thing.
Since we are here in the registry let's change the message in the title bar of Internet Explorer. Just go back to
the Main directory under the Internet Explorer directory. Now there is some more stuff in that right window.
Scroll to the bottom and look for an entry entitled " window title " double click it to change its value.
Enter the text you want to be displayed in the title bar, and click OK . Now you can close the registry editor. If
there was no entry named " window title " you can make one. Click on Edit , go to new , and click on " String
Value ." Name it window title and set the value as indicated above.
Now open Internet Explorer and you can see your text in the title bar, and all those old addresses are gone

Remove or Rename the Recycle Bin from the Desktop
If you don't use the Recycle Bin to store deleted files , you can get rid of its desktop icon all together.
• As a precaution, if you have fear about registry, just copy the registry file "regedit.exe" from "C:\Windows\"
folder and past anywhere of your place.
• Run Regedit and go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ Microsoft/ Windows/CurrentVersion/explorer/ Desktop/NameSpace
• Then search for the string value "Recyclebin".
• Click on the "Recycle Bin" string in the right hand pane.
• Hit Del, click OK.
If you want to restore, just copy the registry file from your folder where you saved before and past to
"C:\Windows\". then restart the computer.
How to Rename the Recycle Bin
• To change the name of the Recycle Bin desktop icon, open Regedit and go to:
• HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/CLSID/ {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
• It is very difficult to find the code, right?
No problem, u just copy the code and click to select edit>find; from Menu bar and past to findand by right click

Speed up Firefox
Here's something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up:
• Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:
network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make
several at once, which really speeds up page loading.
• Alter the entries as follows:
Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at
once.
• Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to
"0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.
If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now..
Add a program to the Right Click Menu
So as to Use it Everywhere by just doing a Right-Clicking
When you right click on any folder, you can have access to that application, the same as using Sent To and New.
Open Registry Editor.
Navigate and choose:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell.
Add a new Key to the "Shell" Key and name it anything you like. Give it a default value that will appear when you
right click a folder, i.e. NewKey (use an "&" without the quotes, in front of any character and it will allow you to
use the keyboard).
Navigate and click on the registry key
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\NewKey.
Now you have to add a New Key named Command and Set the (Default) value of the application you want to run.
For example:
c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe
(Include the full path)
Change Logon Wallpaper-Windows XP
Logon wallpaper is the wallpaper or image that windows xp shows on screen when windows logs on (before it
asks for username & password) .
It’s usually set to the image-logo of the brand (manufacturer) of our computer (e.g. in compaq laptops).
Now we can set it to our own image or any other image (any bmp file) by following trick
Open Startmenu
->Run type regedit and press ok to open registry editor. (shows a tree like structure of directories at left)
In that hierarchical structure in left, navigate to registry entry
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop
In right side pane see a number of values placed in a table format.
choose the value named Wallpaper from there and double click it.
Now you see a box with value name as Wallpaper and value data as Path to the image file .
There give the full path of the image (bmp file) which you want to set as logon wallpaper by deleting previous
path and writing path to your bmp file e.g.
C:\WINDOWS\lon.BMP (to set image lon.BMP file as log on wall paper).
Also double click on WallpaperStyle and change it’s value to 2 to get a stretched wallpaper at logon.
Put that bmp file in windows directory for better results.If that is a jpeg file, convert to bmp file by opening in
Windows Image Viewer and save as bmp.
Hiding Drives in XP
• Go to Start > run > type "diskpart".(Without Quote)a dos window will appear with following prompt.
DISKPART>
• Then type "list volume" this will look like it
Volume### Ltr Label Fs Type Size Status Info
-------------- ---- ------ --- ----- ---- ------- --
Volume 0 F DC-ROM
Volume 1 C NTFS Partition 7000MB Healthy
Volume 2 D soft NTFS Partition 8000MB Healthy
Volume 3 E ---- NTFS Partition 8000MB Healthy
• If u wanna hide drive E then type "select volume 3"then a message will appear in same winwods { Volume 3 is
the selected volume}
• Now type " remove letter E" now a message will come { Diskpart Removed the Drive letter }sometime it
requires the reboot the computer .
• Diskpart will remove the letter .Windows XP is not having capabilty to identify the unkown volume.
Don afraid ur Data will remain same . To Come backe the Drive repeat the process . but in 4th step whish is
shown in this post replace " remove" to "assign"i mean type " assign letter E"
if we hide the drives using this method then even administrator is not allowed to access that drive all the
programs stored in that drive will not run so there is one more way to hide the drives for specific users
WINDOWS REGISTRY
go to Registry editor
HKEY_USERS or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
(in you want to hide drive for all users)
then go to ....
• Software
• >> Microsoft
• >> Windows
• >> CurrentVersion
• >> Policies
• >> Explorer
in right plane create new DWORD value and name it as NoViewOnDrive and set it's value to the number of drive
you want to hide
A: 1
B: 2
C: 4
D: 8
E: 16
F: 32
G: 64
H: 128
n so on ...
to hide all drives type - 67108863
Double click opens search option
Double-clicking any drive opens search option
Solution 1:

• Now type autorun.inf and press enter now, u will find no infected autorun.inf file..
• same way do for all other drives then restart ur pc
Solution 2:
To resolve this problem, edit the registry to set the value data for the Default string value in the registry keys
that are described in the "Cause" section of this article to none:
• Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
• Locate and then click the Default value under the following keys in the registry if this problem occurs with
folders:HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellIf this problem occurs with
drives:HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell.
• Click Modify on the Edit menu.
• Type none in the Value data box, and then click OK.
• Quit Registry Editor.
Thats all :)
